DILL INFUSED OVEN BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS

Steps:

• Gather your brine ingredients
• Add the water and vinegar to a saucepan, and bring up to a simmer.
• Add the remaining brine ingredients, thoroughly mix and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes.
• Take off the heat, and let it return to room temperature.
• Chef's Note: It will take about an hour; however, this gives the dill a chance to infuse itself into the liquid... Remember, patience is a virtue... at least most of the time.
• While the brine is cooling off, we have more work to do.
• Gather your chicken nugget ingredients.
• Cut up the chicken into nice nugget bites.
• When the brine has sufficiently cooled, strain it though a fine mesh sieve, and discard the solids.
• Add the chicken to the brine, cover and refrigerate for 3 - 4 hours.
